George Takei Outed for Hiring Facebook Ghostwriters

His Facebook page has 4.18 million followers

Starring as Star Trek‘s Lieutenant Sulu, George Takei piloted the Starship Enterprise for three seasons on network TV and for a decade more in big screen movies. But, apparently, he doesn’t write his own jokes.

The actor maintains a popular page on Facebook (FB), which fans believed contained his own witty observations and jokes. Now those fans are outraged after comedy writer Rick Polito said in an interview that he penned the jokes on Takei’s Facebook page and was paid $10 for each joke, notes.
